Ha! The List was in taking photos yesterday too. Guess we're getting a bit of a spread in this years food and drink guide... Felt like a food artiste yesterday!

Photos of the food could be good for vollies in the kitchen. Shots should be less about composition and more about showing exactly what's on the plate/quantity. People no be so good at knowing how much to give.

Infidel pussies. Nasrallah is portrayed in a positive light, especially compared to Cruise and Rice. And scientologists/republicans have less sense of humour than Muslims. Are there any Lebanese celebrities who won't offend either the liberals or the extremists?

But seriously, folks. This isn't obnoxious Danish cartoonists vs. touchy fundamentalists, or free speech vs. respecting others' religions. It is using a famous political figure to shift some fried fava beans in a friendly fashion.

As Dan is well versed and traveled in these areas, I take his point seriously. It is a reasonable idea to try not to needlessly offend groups of people, however remote the chances are of succeeding. But I actually expected (and intended) the offendees to be the establishment who label Nasrallah a terrorist.

If anyone has other suggestions, I'd be happy do use them. Its only a poster. I didn't mean to find the edge of our edgyness. Shall we go back to parodying black women now?
